I did get 3 chassis built, and it took about 100hours to weld IF you have the laser cut brackets. I strongly recommend to buy one, even though it is fun to weld - but can also be frustrating. 100hours bear plenty of opportunity to get annoyed! ;-)
It takes much less hours without the birdcage. So it you plan to install a body which is sturdy enough to carry itself (the CSX bodies are not), you may consider to weld a chassis. Or, get a body with birdcage inside (Kirkham).
Yet, I urge you to get the brackets from Nick (mickmate).
One more $1mio advise: The rear gusset for the axle shaft (diameter) is too small for Jaguar universals. I increased such holes to the max - after everything was in. I learned a few new swearwords...
